5 stars!
The first chapter will have you lost and tempted to quit but keep reading it’s so worth it! This is a fictionalized memoir about a women with schizophrenia who gets obsessed & delusional-y attached to old art, old folklore, old news clippings, etc. all these stories she thinks, this can’t be a coincidence and hallucinates a character made of all her fixations (maybe). She meets a women (maybe in July maybe in November) who is maybe a siren & maybe a werewolf but definitely a ghost (except maybe not a ghost). Yeah if you can tell it gets confusing and a bit difficult to read, but it’s an accurate and interesting portrayal of the mixed realities and false memories often found in people living with schizophrenia. I personally am diagnosed with schizophrenia and found it to be written tastefully though I’m not sure if the author is actually diagnosed or not.
